i where very thin layers anyway when i play, i have a thermal top on that is skin tight and is pretty much useless (i dont really class this as an extra layer as it is so tight) apart from keeping me warm and then a normal tshirt then my jersey.

But in a normal tourament that wouldnt be legal...
right im a little more sober now only just though :D

Unfotunately MJ IonPaintball is right that would constitute wearing a 3rd layer wether its tight or not. The dye balance tops (think its these) are tight and dont have padding but they still constitute a layer.

even though my spelling was attrocious and the post not very well structured the rules are pretty much what i put up above.

I find the Millennium regs (which most series seem to base their rules on) to be a little over zealous on the layering question. I've been forced to remove a 3rd layer before - even when it was bloody freezing and pouring with rain.

Before everyone starts crying 'man up!' - I've got less fat on me than a chopstick, so while all the blubber boys are cosy in their natural insulation, I'm half-way to hypothermia :)

Still, we're rocking into warmer weather now and those Empire groundpounder vests are pretty cosy and prevent the worst of the welts.
